    Skill 13 – Use Reduced

    Adjective Clauses Correctly

    MERLIYANI PUTRI ANGGRAINI


    Reduced Adjective Clauses
    We reduce sentences when you have the same subject in the main clause
    and the adjective clause. Adjective clauses contain relative pronouns like
    who, which, or that. The reduced adjective clause becomes an adjective
    phrase, which does not have a subject. An adjective phrase does not have a
    subject and a verb. Instead, it has a present participle (base verb + ing) for
    the active voice or a past participle for the passive voice.
    Remember that only sentences with a verb immediately after the relative
    pronoun can be reduced. If there is a subject after the relative pronoun, the
    clause cannot be reduced.
    • The man who is smoking (verb) by the door is my professor. (can be
    reduced)
    • The man whom I (subject) was talking to is my professor. (cannot be
    reduced)
    • The watch that was found belongs to Lily
    • The watch that I found belongs to Lily
